In order to achieve this objective a microwave source is designed and constructed. This report discusses the design of a pulsed power system used to drive this microwave source. This experiment is funded by the AFOSR/AFWL. The experiment was named THOR, after the Norse God of lightning and thunder.application/pdfengOscillatorsMicrowave devicesPulse generatorsMicrowaveThesis
